The SILLY PLEASURES Thread

[Amnesiac]

I've come to the conclusion that everybody has funny little things they like to do, no matter how insignificant they might be. This thread is dedicated to sharing those little things and seeing how many people have them. I'll give you an example:

My Silly Pleasures:

- Popping bubble wrap
- playing pinball games and old arcade games
- the smell of gasoline at the station
- Flipping through poster racks at music stores
- looking at thumbnail pictures on porn video boxes
- staring at floors to look for hidden patterns
- imagining weird pairings of actors (like Cher with Jack Benny)
- thinking of actors who have never said "fuck" onscreen
- wondering how much urine there would be if everybody in the state took a piss at the same time
- Wondering how long abandoned places have been abandoned
- Long warm showers
- Root beer that comes in bottles
- sorting things I want to do in lists
- Going to second-hand bookstores to find old movie novelizations
- Fantasy shopping at Barnes & Noble
- Taking a nap in sunlight through a window
- spraying air freshener in rooms that need it
- looking at ceramic villages during holiday seasons
- looking at haunted house drawings on Halloween merchandise
- Eating while watching people eat on TV.


Strange as it sounds, I can't think of anymore at the moment. But until I think of others, I'll let you share yours. Enjoy.
- Wandering around empty buildings or large rooms

Re: Wondering how long abandoned places have been abandoned...

Wondering WHY abandoned places have been abandoned. *shiver*

thinking about the second coming; the destruction of this world; and the continual and complete punishment of the nonbelievers who until their last breath still mock their impending doom.

really.

-Looking at a coin and wondering who might have held it before me.
-Collecting the occasional Mage Knight Figure.
-Watching old movies on Sci-Fi.
-Taking long walks on the beach around midnight.

Singing in the shower, and then putting on a dance song when I enter my room coming out of the shower (preferably Junior Senior "Move your Feet") and dancing to it in my towel. Of course, I only do this when I am the only one here. =P Silly, yes....Fun? Hell yea.

Pleasures

Opening a crackly milkweed pod and feeling the silky floss inside; bit by bit tossing it up gently and releasing it to the breeze.

Watching really bad movies like "The Horror of Party Beach"

Listening to really bad 80s songs like "Der Kommissar"

Smelling fresh cut grass.....on a lawn

Country Time Lemonade....not too tart, not too sweet

Sitting around old Mr. McGinnely's porch as he tells us stories how times used to be in the 1800s

- Having conversations with myself about ludicrous topics and adopting various personalities for each standpoint, complete with different voices.

- Hopping up and down arrhythmically until I fall over from lack of breath

- Eating as messily as possible, no matter the food

- Internet cartoons.

- Blowing soap bubbles.

- Posting.

 

[the_Baron]

marauder -

you know. i do that thing too, with the private conversations and the various voices/personalities.

maybe we can get a discount on group therapy.

 

[Marauder]

I forgot:

- Feeding people who imply that I'd need therapy to a band of radioactive mutated baboons who have a bad hair day.

*mad glint in eyes*

 

[the_Baron]

it was going to be group therapy. you know. we bond and all. now i can't drive thru the animal safaris with baboons without remembering that comment.

woe is me.

 

[wishiswish]

mine:

- annoying people by poking them in the stomach
- starting a disussion with somebody and misinterprete his/her words
so i have a reason to get angry at them
- painting peole blue (fingercolours! great stuff!)
- watching birds on a sunny afternoon
- giving my fiends' dog a squeaky toy and leaving the apartement
- doodling silly patterns
- hang my nose over a glass of mineral water (tickles in the
nose! hee..)

- drawing glasses and mustaches on photos
- making sounds like "goork", "doork" and "flork"
- discussing about topics i've got nearly no information on
- backpacking to hot countries where i can't read the signs
- trying to talk people into seeing a psychotherapist
-...

these are just the silliest things. and just the ones that have been on my mind the last 5 minutes. i suppose the true list would be 2 miles long...
probably i'm sometimes the incarnation of the words "silly" and "childish"

this is definitely a cool topic, amnesiac!
